    I have been in a silver/gold mining company, CDE, for about 15 years and it has pretty much sucked. Sadly, I keep buying on the dips but sell the covered calls to bring in a premium. I am fine with it getting called away as I make 12-18% in less than 60 days.

    Yes, I have money in their VDIGX fund but not in their utility fund. Also have money in a mid-cap fund I believe but can't remember the ticker.

    Treasury bonds

    starting at 0 and investing 10K for next 12 years at 6% I think will get you to about 178K. Maybe my calculation is wrong but that is still decent and you can't lose money on those. Never mind as I didn't include the interest from the age of 62-74....my apologies, carry on.

    Breeding issue

    It has been two full weeks since I gave them the information and have not been called me back. I will chalk it up as a lesson learned and never do business with them again. One positive is the open registered I purchased had a pretty good looking bull calf. Is it against the rules to post the...

    Could Be

    Fed will most likely raise rates 0.50% in May and in June with a slight lean towards possibly a .75% hike in May. Doubt they go that high but they need to tame inflation.

    Stock Investments

    Maybe "know your customer". Bought some I bonds just the other day. My gambling stocks, DKNG and PENN, are way down. I am bout ready to stop trying to pick single stocks and just go all mutual funds. But, what is the fun in that?

    Weaning weights

    Congrats to your guy for doing what he does. Is he doing what Warren says he is doing and driving all over or going to local sales and getting best available? Wondering if we are comparing apples to apples.

    Weaning weights

    How do you know it would be better? Is there a history of poor cattle being delivered? If buyer is happy and makes money who cares. Are insurance agents or car salesmen thieves for charging more than someone else?

    Weaning weights

    I must have missed something. Buyer asks someone to find cattle and cuts him a check for total amount they will pay. When cattle are delivered the buyer is happy with what he received. We have two happy parties in a deal. What is missing? Not trying to stir pot but if one guy is successful...

    Thanks for the reply. They called me today to get all the information. I asked them to let me know if they do or do not offer anything in this type of situation. They will be getting back with me.

    Breeding issue

    The registered was open when I purchased her but the three commercial were all bred safe according to their vet with calving dates. Two of the commercials had calves but the third never did and still hasn't. The third was due back in September. The registered has been with our bull for a year...

    Breeding issue

    I purchased a few bred commercial heifers and also an open registered heifer from a "reputable" seller via auction last year. Only two have calved and the open still appears to be open. What have your experiences been when letting the seller know what is going on?

    Heifer

    I used 3 CED bull on heifers with no issues. Maybe I was extremely lucky but that was my experience. When I purchased the bull the CED was higher but adjusted lower over time.

    How is the heifer by Stealth coming along? Curious as I just purchased a 14 month old bull sired by Stealth.
